ex student here- if you care about your mental health don't go there

obvs at the end of the day its up to you whether you go or not- but from my experience you get v little support from staff there mixed with a sense of unnecessary competitiveness that is really demoralising. if you find that you are struggling then you're sort of treated like a slacker rather than someone who needs help (doesn't help that majority of students are heavily tutored outside of school anyways to try and keep up). mental health isn't taken seriously and most of the focus is on grades and academic performance which is obvs important but not everything ygm. they make it seem like getting average grades like Bs and Cs seem like the end of the world and it really takes a toll on your self esteem and general mental health. they also make it seem like uni is the only path you can take and therefore dont really pay much attention to the average students whose goal isnt to go to uni to do med,law or engineering.this is just one of the main problems, i suggest having a read through some of the google reviews cause they're pretty accurate imo. of course there were times that i had fun and enjoyed it but looking back i really wished i had gone somewhere else

Thanks for the reply, I looked at the google reviews, and honestly, it's appalling, is it really as bad as most of them say?
